Abstract :
Pulse wave analysis is a new technique to determine age and disease related changes in pulse wave morphology. We developed a software tool to extract information from an approximately one minute long data flow registered by photoplethysmography. The results of the computation, presented in both numerical and graphical forms, provide diagnostic value in assessing vascular health.
